Look at a light bulb. The room gets lit up but the bulb looks much brighter than the rest of room.

Are people walking dogs or are dogs walking the people? 🐕🚶‍♀️ At this point, I’d say the latter…

Two ways to be able to get through hard times: 1. Get good at fighting 2. Get good at finding peace One leads to fighting during good times. The other leads to peace during good times. Cold plunges are a great example of this: Fight through the pain or find peace so there is no pain. Which do you do?

What might seem like a great sacrifice to others, in truth, is a great blessing to self. Ex. Eating only real food means no ultra processed ice cream, cookies etc. Many see this as a “sacrifice” and require “discipline” to accomplish. But eating pure food and only pure food is the greatest blessing. The body, mind, and soul feels it too. Once FULLY understood logically, emotionally, and spiritually, it requires NO discipline at all. It becomes the desired option. There is no sacrifice. Story. One time on a podcast, the interviewer questioned me like I was crazy for having no vices. She said “come on you gotta have one.” As I’ve reflected further, why would I have one when the desired choice is pure real food over fake food. Consuming the fake food to me at this point would be the sacrifice. This is clear once you’ve experience the other side. Most who carry these “vices” just simply have not. Another story. Just yesterday my Mom invited a priest who was leaving town over for dinner. She was preparing food, for me included. I overheard her from the other room, probably explaining the choice of food, that Shaun (me) had lots of discipline and does not give in to this other stuff. I yelled out, “it’s not discipline.” Discipline requires lots of mental effort. Since pure food is my desire over fake food, it is effortless. There is no sacrifice and no discipline required. The moral of the story is when you find absolute truth, what might seem like a challenging sacrifice to others, is actually the greatest blessing to self.

My fourteen year old brother just said he wants to put his thousand dollars in bitcoin instead of the bank. 📈

A YouTube built on Nostr would be good. Lots of great journalism done via long form video. I understand it’d more challenging, expensive, and not perfect. Any Nostr devs have any more insight into this? Why is it not available today? What are the Nostr hurdles and limitations? How do we overcome them overtime and at scale?

It’s very important NOSTR wins
